hi,
i'd like to change my old tripod slik with a new one. I have difficulty in the choice because i want it the most solid possible, but with a light weight because i like trekking. i've a 5D and the heaviest len i have so far is the 100-400. As brand and models i was thinking on Manfrotto 055 cx3 or Gitzo GT1830 that in Italy where i live they cost about 300€ that is in my budget , but i'm open to other models of these brands (the max i can spend is 350€).
Is nobody out there so kind to help me in this choice?
thanks

thank, but i see the 190 serie as a second tripod because it's short (1.2m) and it weight still 1.8 kg. If it is possible i'd like to find a tripod that is good for trekking but height enough for portrait too.

If you want the height of the 055, but with light weight, then go for the carbon fibre version - I have the 055CXPRO3 and it's large and extremely sturdy but surprisingly light. I carry it over my shoulder around town when testing cameras and it's fine...

It is extremely light, but the size is too big for me personally to go hiking with it. Fine for wandering around town though. It all depends on your personal preference really, but even folded down, it's pretty big.
